The young and dynamic general manager shares his love of travel
One of the youngest general managers in the hotel industry, Marcel Thoma is constantly on the road, for business and pleasure (and often, both).
The Swiss-born jetsetter is currently based in Hong Kong where he leads the team at The Upper House, one of the city's—if not the world's—most luxurious and impeccably serviced hotels.
In this edition of How I Travel, we check in with Thoma to see where he's been lately, and where he's off to next.
Last trip?
Art Basel in Switzerland. I then took a trip to Montenegro, and stayed at this beautiful hotel, the Aman Sveti Stefan. I also travelled to Dubrovnik, Croatia, which is a UNESCO world heritage site.

Next trip?
New York, LA and Las Vegas, as I'll be introducing The Upper House and the entire House Collective to the travel communities in the US. We'll be hosting a special House Collective party in a private venue in the Beverly Hills, and attending the annual Virtuoso travel show. After that, I'll be heading to Utah and staying at the Amangiri hotel, one of the most interesting hotels in the world.
What do you love most about traveling?
The constant opportunity to discover new things, experience new restaurants and try out different hotels. And above all, to meet new people.
